I lay in that tub on the seventeenth floor of this hotel for-women-only, high up over the jazz and push of New York, for near unto an hour, and I felt myself growing pure again.

You're like nearly all American women--married or single, young or old--you're all of you scared to death about sex--just as your Puritan mothers were! And you leave it alone--you keep it down--you never give it a chance--you're afraid! But I'm not afraid--and I'm living my life! And let me tell you I'm not alone! There are hundreds and thousands doing the same--right here in New York City to-night! It's been abroad for years and years--in Rome and Berlin, in Paris and London--and now,... Ernest Poole

About a week ago I was sitting in L.A.'s chicest nightclub with a few friends and the DJ was playing Yaz and Bowie and the videos were on and I was on my third gin and tonic and I realized that no matter where I am it's always the same. Camden, New York, L.A., Palm Springs - it really doesn't seem to matter. Maybe this should be disturbing but it's really not. I find it kind of comforting. Bret Easton Ellis
Angela Carter quote: "Cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris a woman, and New..."
Cities have sexes: London is a man, Paris a woman, and New York a well-adjusted transsexual. Angela Carter
It was bad enough to be swallowed up by the intrinsic anger of New York City traffic and its seemingly mad competition between cars, cabs, the ubiquitous delivery trucks, the kamikaze bike messengers and the always-in-a-damn hurry pedestrians. Nora Roberts
Charles M. Schulz quote: "Little brothers are the New York Mets of life!"
Little brothers are the New York Mets of life! Charles M. Schulz
It was a dark afternoon, threatening rain and the end of the world, and done in that particularly gloomy gray in which only New York afternoons indulge. A breeze was crying down the streets, whisking along battered newspapers and pieces of things, and little lights were pricking out all the windows- it was so desolate that one was sorry for the tops of sky-scrapers lost up there in the dark green and gray heaven. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Pearl S. Buck quote: "As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its..."
As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world. Pearl S. Buck
Jimmy Breslin quote: "When you leave New York you ain't going anywhere."
When you leave New York you ain't going anywhere. Jimmy Breslin
I was quite depressed two weeks ago when I spent an afternoon at Brentano's Bookshop in New York and was looking at the kind of books most people read. That seems to be hopeless; once you see that you lose all hope. Friedrich August von Hayek
Jeffrey Eugenides quote: "It is wonderful barefoot in New York. It is like walking on..."
It is wonderful barefoot in New York. It is like walking on one big giant tomb! Jeffrey Eugenides
Fall, though, is the worst. Few things are worse than fall in New York.

Douglas Adams
